"It doesn't answer. It testifies."

This is the open-core reference primitive beneath Centennial Defense Systems'
deterministic safety and deployment-governance work. It is given freely so the
pattern — deny-by-default, jailed, tamper-evident, fail-closed — can be inspected,
reproduced, and built upon.
